Maybe you aren’t the hang around the house and relax kind of person. I’m not. It makes me lethargic and unsatisfied. I get a little antsy.

I need to build and create and explore in order to feel good. I might wire up some crappy electronic device, make a piece of furniture, play with my kids, teach my kids something, make a kumiko panel, draw, read, make a tool for my shop, try to 3d print something new and useful, go spearfishing, harvest seaweed, run, make a new interesting dish in the kitchen - if I’m not doing something, I feel like I’m wasting time. Doing this stuff is relaxing. Knowing I’m making the most of my time in this life gratifies me.

People have often told me it’s bad that I can’t slow down and just relax. To each their own though. I’d rather play guitar then listen to someone play guitar. I’d rather build a hot tub then buy one so I can sit in it. And that’s totally fine, so long as you’re happy!
